2.1) Theory of operation
The Minifor
™
TR125 SY is a portable
electric hoist for lifting applications, imple-
menting a feed-through Minifor
™
synthetic
rope operating through a self-gripping system
giving potentially unlimited height of lift with
the Minifor
™
synthetic rope.
The synthetic rope drive system used with
the Minifor
™
hoist is formed by a special drive
pulley, two guide rollers and two grabs.
The grabs lock the Minifor
™
synthetic rope
in the drive pulley whatever the load.
In addition to the effect of the grabs,
the locking action on the Minifor
™
hoist
synthetic rope in the drive pulley is
proportional to the load.
This technical design ensures a high level
of safety provided the instructions given in
this manual in section 5) “Anchoring and
rigging arrangements” are carefully followed.
The Minifor
™
TR125 SY hoist must only
be used with the Minifor
™
synthetic rope
of the required diameter (see specifications)
to ensure complete safety and correct
operation.
Tractel
®
declines any responsibility for
any consequences arising from use of the
hoist with a synthetic rope other than the
Minifor
™
synthetic rope.
Each Minifor
™
TR125 SY hoist is dyna-
mically tested before dispatch to 110 % of the
working load limit.

TR125 SY in the most currently used
working position, ready to operate, suspended
to a ring. The standard hoist is supplied with
an electrical control cable with button-type
control pendant (fig. 2, page A) and an electric
power cable. On request, the unit can be
supplied with different control and power
supply cable lengths. Each unit carries a
serial number on the front panel of the casing.
